Christine Lynn Gallagher

Christine Gallagher was exceptional and I highly recommend her for handling your family law cases. Our family had a very complicated case that unfortunately the previous attorney (Kara Hill)had made worse with their incompetence. The professionalism of Christine is second to none, even her office ...help Rachel and Joanne maintain her high standards. Christine was exceptional in communicating with us every step of the way. When we had questions about certain aspects of the case instead of taking offense to asking a question, she listened and then would patiently explain everything in detail to us. Both my wife and I had been through nasty divorces and child custody battles and so much had changed since we ourselves had been in the courtroom. Thankfully Christine was more than understanding with our questions and expertly and professionaly would explain them and put any fears we had at ease. Christine is definitely a no nonsense attorney with the confidence backed by knowledge as if she's been an attorney for 100 years. Christine embraced our daughters trama and fears through this whole experience and comforted all of us even when we thought things were never gonna come to fruition through all the hard work our daughter had done. Christine is masterful in her profession and was able to help us achieve our goals through the entire case, including Trial. Thank you Christine.

Christine prevented me from making a couple of potentially costly mistakes with my complicated divorce that included moves across state boundaries. I’m grateful she was honest with me in what the consequences might be and helped me make informed decisions in my best interest and what was best for my ...kids.

From the first day of my separation with my partner and the beginning of our custody journey, Christine was a lifeline for me. She was realistic, reasonable, and she always let me know the facts of the situation. I was always given the information I requested in a timely manner and even when I had st...ressful moments, the office was there for me, answering my many calls and concerns. I felt that I had a clear understanding of not just my case, but of the custody system within Spokane County and how it had an effect on my specific circumstances with my son. Christine is an experienced professional and a choice that I am thankful for and remember everyday when I'm with my son. Her paralegal, Rachel, was an absolute hero for me. These women were and are tireless advocates. I consistently share Christine's name with people here now and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I could not have hired better representation. Being a former attorney myself, I am familiar enough with the spectrum of talent out there and Christine is simply top-notch. Look no further. If she decides to take your case, be assured you have the best family-law attorney in town. My ex had le...ft town and relocated 2+ hours away with our beautiful 9mo son after struggling with months of severe depression. She refused visitation and her goal was to simply get rid of me, broke and with no plan to care of our son appropriately. I was devastated. Hiring Christine was the best thing I could have done. In a matter of days, we had an emergency hearing -even amongst COVID -and I had temporary orders in place to see my son. In the ensuing months, she was there every step of the way through two more hearings, each time gaining ground for us. I was able to maintain regular visitation with my son several times a month and was grateful. Every detail was addressed by Christine and her staff and nothing was left to chance. My ex refused to communicate or mediate and forced us into a trial. To be honest, I was somewhat cynical of the process going in, especially since my ex had relocated. She had since moved in with her parents and admittedly created a stable home for herself. I expected only to keep what I had gained in our hearings, or with luck pick up some more visitation. I thought my child support would probably increase a bit. I was wrong. Christine completely dominated our short trial and NAILED IT! I was granted full joint custody (shared parenting) 50/50 right down the middle. We got absolutely everything we asked for, and then some. My child support was even adjusted dramatically downward due to a true shared parenting plan. My now 18mo son is spending his first full week at home with me and it is simply amazing. He is loving every moment of it. Thank you Christine!

I would describe Christine as ethical, fair, honest, caring and strong. Which these days is difficult to find in an attorney. I cannot tell you how lucky I am that I found Christine! She was a bulldog in my defense while also holding my hand through the tough parts. Not only did I use her for my... divorce but also my child support hearings, and plan to use her until my kids are out of the house. She does her due diligence and works harder than most to help you through the process. I could not recommend someone without having faith that they did their best and with her she went over and above to help. Thank you Christine, you are amazing!
